Launching the Calculator

[Mark Greenberg]

Two students of mine are building a stack to give learners some  
practice with the concepts of mean, median, mode, quartiles, and  
range.  They asked me whether they could have a button in their stack  
that launches the calculator that comes with windows (chiefly so the  
students can add and divide for mean).  So I'm asking the list  
members.  Keep in mind that these students have less than 2 hours so  
far of programming experience whatsoever, so shell commands and  
externals would be too much for them.  They are working on Windows XP  
to compile for Windows.

An alternative would be for them to create their own calculator  
within the stack or as a substack.  They only have three weeks to  
finish this project, so I was hoping to avoid that rout.

Thanks in advance,
